IMPROVEMENT IN HASP-LOCKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1773 12, dated May 9,1876; application filed February 21, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD S. YOUNG,

of Geneva, in the county of Ontario and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Combined Hasp and Padlock, of which thefollowing is a specification:

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents an exterior view of myimproved 3 a similar View, showing the position of the various partswhen the bolt is shot and secured by means of the lock.

A is the casing,'inclosing and supporting the bolt and locking devices,and provided, when it is to be used as a hasp,'with a shank, B, ofsuitable length, secured in any suitable or preferred way to the doorjamb or wall. The casing A is provided with a removablecap, A,perfcrated.'as shown, for'the admission of the key,through which isoperated the lock, and having a recessed edge to correspond with theportion A, for the purpose hereinafter set forth.

The casing A is formed of a disk, a, deeply iecessed at b, on the sideon which the bolt operates, for the purpose of admitting the staple, towhich it may be desired to secure it, and bounded with acylindrical rim,0, of a width to form a suitable box or case for the bolt and look. Thiscylindrical rim is continuous except at the recess 1). A slot, 01, atone side of this recess permits a pin or rivet, 6, provided with athumbpiece on the outside of the rim c,-and on the inside secured in anarc-formed bolt, f, to play backward and forward a sufficient distanceto shoot out the bolt and again withdraw it. A shield, g, fittingclosely upon the cylindrical surface of the rim, keeps the slot dcontinually closed against dirt and water.

I further secure the complete inelosure of the lock, so as not tointerfere with the free operation of the bolt, by meansof theirregularly bent metal piece h, which corresponds in width to the widthof the rim, and is bent and placed first to form a recess 13, into whichthe bolt f shoots across the recess 1), then to conform to the'inner endof the recess 11,- and .the remaining portion made concentric with thecylindrical rim, and forming a tight shield against dirt and water, anda support and guide for the bolt f. When the cap A is placed upon thecasing A the whole forms a completely-inclosing case for all the parts.The key-hole in the cap can be closed by any suitable meansas, forexample, a pivoted slide' The casing A is further provided with a shank,B, perforated atthe end, which is useful when the lock is to bepermanently attached to the door, gate, or post.

The bolt f may be formed with a recess, is, in its inner side and end,for the purpose of receiving the end of the bolt j of the look as it isshot forwardby the key; or it may simply be made short enough to permitthe end of said boltj to shoot past it. In either manner the bolt f,when shot forward and secured by means of the lock-bolt forms a securefastening, accessible only through the lock itself. This lock on I shallnot particularly describe, as such forms no part ofmy invention, exceptin combination, and as any improved form of lock, placed in the samerelation to the bolt f, may be used in its stead.

It is obvious that the boltf may be slid forward and not locked, and sothe device he used simply as a temporary fastening for a gate or door,and that the shank B, which is formed upon the casing A, may bedispensed with.

I claim as 'of my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Thecombination, with cylindrical casing A, formed witha recess, 1), in oneside, and a recess for receiving the bolt, of curved bolt f, moving backand forth in curved guides, and provided with thumb-piece and shield g,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

EDWARD S. YOUNG.
